On Sunday 17th May it’s World Baking Day, a day you can’t properly celebrate without something delicious to tuck into! And what good timing too, as many of us have turned to baking over the past few weeks to keep our hands busy and our minds focused, it seems only fitting to be spreading the joy and wonder that is baked goods<\/a>.<\/p>\n

You don\u2019t have to have the culinary expertise of a top patisserie chef to get involved either, as proven by our Digital Team! We\u2019re lucky enough to have some keen bakers here at QVC and you\u2019ll often find us crowded around the latest treat someone has brought in when we\u2019re in the office. So we got a few of them together to share a favourite recipe that you can try at home, including some not-so-secret-anymore family ones!<\/p>\n

Let’s take a look…<\/p>\n

Jess N – Mrs Sager’s ‘cake’<\/strong><\/p>\n

Mrs Sager was a distant relation on my mum\u2019s side, who\u2019s recipe was sent in a letter to my grandma when they were living in Peru, but without any measurements included! Not knowing exactly what it was meant to be, my grandma made a kind of cakey\/shortbread with jam in the middle.<\/p>\n

When they got back to the UK, it turned out it was meant to be a sponge cake, but as my grandma\u2019s interpretation proved so popular all over the world, we still make it like she did! I know whenever my mum makes it, it reminds her of her mum and whenever I make it, it takes me straight home to mine.<\/p>\n\"\"\n
